Pound Mountain is located in the southwest section of Harriman State Park.  This loop hike starts at the end of Johnsontown Rd.  From the parking area, walk back down Johnsontown Rd a short distance to a gravel road on the right.  This is the start of the Blue Disc trail.  Follow the Blue Disc for about .7 miles to the summit of Dater Mountain.  This is a great view point.  Follow the Blue Disc trail another 1.2 miles to the Claudius Smith Den junction.  The Tuxedo-Mt. Ivy trail intersects here.  Turn right on the Tuxedo-Mt. Ivy trail for 1.2 miles where you reach the junction with the White Bar trail.  The Tuxedo-Mt. Ivy trail and the White Bar trail share the same path here for a short distance until the White Bare trail breaks off to the right.

Follow the White Bar for 1.2 miles where the trail intersects with the Kakiat Trail (also white markers).  Be careful not to turn off onto the Kakiat trail.  The White Bar trail continues straight ahead for another .3 miles and ends at the parking area.
